Let Go

I grab your hand you let go, You shake your head and say 'no', I feel my voice collapse with my hopes, You turn your back and time slows oh, You leave the bar, I leave my drink and my coat where they are, And follow you on to the street, You turn around look at the ground, And say 'don't follow when I leave', Okay... You said 'you love me' oh, That I could trust you oh, You'd never leave me oh, After all we got through oh, I took my chances oh, Strayed all my bounders oh, But you don't need me oh, Better off without me oh, I chase the rain down the window, You're all I see wherever I go, You're all I see even with my eyes closed, Hidden memories in magazines enclosed in photos at home, You're in my sleep, in my day-dreams, in a crowded street or on my own, While I can't eat I bet you sleep with someone's heat against your bones, But... You said 'you love me' oh, That I could trust you oh, You'd never leave me oh, After all we got through oh, I took my chances oh, Strayed all my bounders oh, But you don't need me oh, Better off without me oh, I don't see you for some time, Yet, every day you're still in my mind, I'm moving forward no longer the tortured by the person that you ar-r-r-re-e, I met someone new, yes, they're not you, but I still wonder how you are, I lie in bed and smile at my life, Glad I saw sense in the bright lights, It's dark outside, I go down stairs, look at the door there's someone there, I hear a knock and my heart drops, I'd recognize it anywhere, I open the door, I see your face, there's a pause, and then you say 'Babe... I said 'I loved you' oh, That you could trust me oh, I'd never leave you oh, If things were ugly oh, I took my chances oh, I strayed all your bounders oh, But I still need you oh, I'm nothing without you oh, You grab my hand I let go... oh
